As for the female writers’ social status in the 18th century and 19th century, the British government has established a series of bills such as the Labor Act to protect women’s rights. The act stressed that women could have the rights to get independent properties and get porced with their husbands. With the expansion of the scale of factory, many women were allowed to join in the factory team. They stepped into the society and through their own labor, exercises; they found out the life values, cultivated the self-esteem and self-confidence. This, to some degree, ensured female status in the society and family and the equality between the men and women. In addition, this helped the female to build their confidence so that they could see the light of life. They slowly showed their pursuit of liberation and of their personality traits. Then they improved and strengthen their inpidual consciousness. In terms of their marriage, women in that time were used to be arranged to marry to someone, but later they wanted to fight against this situation. They still believe marriage should be based on the love between men and women, which is so precious in their life. They tried their best to be totally equal with men.
